Answer 4

Types Of Braces are:

Metal Braces

These are the traditional stainless steel braces. however we also use the mini bracket system which are smaller in size and hence less visible and so you don’t have a notorious metal mouth. Invisible Braces

Invisible braces serve as a cosmetic alternative to traditional metal braces by blending more with the natural color of the teeth and having a less conspicuous or hidden appearance. Typically, these brackets are made of ceramic or plastic materials and function in a similar manner to traditional metal brackets. Lingual Braces

These are braces fixed on the inner surface of teeth. The traditional ones are a little uncomfortable as it is in contact with the tongue. But relax , the modern lingual braces are custom made with a gold base and are more sleek in design as it takes up the tooth shape and hence are more comfortable. Ceramic Braces

These are transparent braces which are least visible in mouth. they are a very good alternative for those who are not comfortable to wear metal braces. Ceramic braces never change colour, though the rubber bands used to hold the wire might get a little stained. these bands are changed every appointment. Self Ligating Braces

These braces do not need rubber bands to hold the wire to the bracket and hence are more hygienic and faster than normal braces. there are metal and ceramic types in these braces too.

Answer 5

There are different types of braces as an option to the Patient. Below is the list of it

Metal Braces ( Traditional Dental Braces)

These are the traditional braces which consist of metal brackets and wires that most of the people picture when they hear the word braces. These are dental braces which are made up of high grade stainless steel which straighten your teeth using metal brackets and arch wires. These are the least expensive braces that are used in orthodontic treatment.

Once installed the patient has to be more careful with what they eat. One should avoid eating gums or caramel that sticks to the brackets. The patient should avoid eating hard food as it may result in dislodgment of bracket. The cost of Metal braces starts from Rs. 27000 and then there is 3M Metal braces which has different price range. But the metal braces in general

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic Braces are common alternative to the metal braces. Ceramic Braces are made up of tooth colored material which is usually less noticeable than the usual metal braces.They have tooth colored brackets that blend with the teeth and are of same size and shape as metal brackets. They are more expensive when compared to the traditional metal braces. Ceramic Braces stain easily if one does not maintain proper oral hygiene. Ceramic braces start with the range of Rs.30,000. It may vary a little depending on clinic and doctor. But not a very big variation.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are same as metal braces, these are custom made and are bonded behind the teeth (lingual side) to remain out of site. A skillful orthodontist is required to install them. They are difficult to clean and are even more expensive than the ceramic braces. They can be uncomfortable initially but eventually patient gets used to it. The adjustments take longer time than traditional braces. The cost of Lingual braces ranges from Rs.72,000 and more depending upon the oral conditions.

5) Self-Ligation Metal Brackets: These use more advanced technology in orthodontics or braces treatment which is called self-ligation. Self Ligation does not use elastics to hold the wires on the brackets and hence avoids the use of elastics and ligation wires. This allows the orthodontics to apply larger forces on the teeth thereby increase the pace or speed of the teeth movement. Due to this the treatment time is reduced. Also, in certain cases, extraction of teeth can be avoided by self-ligation which is not possible with traditional brackets. The cost of self-ligating braces starts by Rs.65000.

6) Invisible Braces

Invisible Braces are orthodontic devices that are a transparent, plastic form of dental braces used to adjust teeth. It is the most advanced teeth correction therapy.They align teeth just as braces do, but using a transparent, removable aligner.They align teeth just as braces do, but using a transparent, removable aligner.
